    Why would you need a brand new car? Like I agree with your main point but brand new?

      I was using “brand new” as in they buy a new car to replace the car they have. Not necessarily a shiny new, newest model up to date state of the art car, but a they replace the car they have with a new car.

      Believe it or not there are people who would say “How can you say you are poor – you just bought a new car? then tell The Daily Mail that illegal immigrants are using tax-payers money to buy new cars.

      A new car is not that much more in a lot of places than a used car, especially right now. Plus, you can earn supplementary income with a new car that you might not be able to in an old car. In some markets you can’t drive uber without a very new car.

      This is why the advice is basically not to judge so much, especially considering billionaires are literally making record profits off of food and medicine right now.
